Widely used to treat stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues, CBT's structured makes it an accessible option for diverse clients seeking tangible, lasting change.

The duration of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can vary based on individual needs and the nature of the issues being addressed. Sessions may range from a few weeks to several months.
